AUSTIN, Texas — From a sea of green to an ocean of blue, Q2 Stadium is changing its colors in honor of JDRF and National Diabetes Awareness Month.
The blue light will shine from 5 p.m. Tuesday until Wednesday morning to support JDRF. This is the first time Q2 Stadium has illuminated the stadium in solidarity of a medical cause.
JDRF is a nonprofit organization that is working to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Organizers hope to make breakthroughs in treating Type 1 diabetes and its complications by using Q2 Stadium as a beacon to spread the word across Central Texas.
Q2 also helped raise more than $121,000 for JDRF during its annual Community Dodgeball Tournament which took place at the stadium.
The Q2 Stadium is the home of Austin's soccer team, Austin FC.
